THE best time for cricket in India is here!

DLF Indian premier league (IPL), the new format of 20-20 cricket is entertaining all age groups. It's not about a country, but different states competing with each other.

This new form of cricket has made history and attracted many eyeballs, thanks to the presence of international players like Shane Warne, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Shoib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi, Graeme Smith, as well as Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta.

"It used to be such a boring game, a 50 over match used to go on for 9 long hours, but in 20-20, a match getting over in 3 hours is more like watching a movie. It is too exciting and appealing," says Shweta Divekar, assistant manager with Deloitte.

Among the audiences, women professionals have become more inclined towards IPL. There was a time, the women community were hardly interested in cricket.

20-20 format has become such a craze that women coming home from work, including male professionals are lured to television channels these days.
